Hi.
 
I have installed X1 over my copy of Sonar 8.5.3  and for a while now I havn't been able to see the different preset drum maps.
 
I have searched the forum and heard that there's a Vista compatability problem - but I'm using XP.
 
So what I've done is copied the  Drum map folder to a different drive and under global options set 8.5.3 to view that folder... but for some reason it still doesn't show?
 
Is there a way to fix this ????    

I didn't think it was possible to install any version of sonar over the top of another? They should all install along side each other. 

Is there still a drum map folder in sonar 8.5's files? If so you could try just copying the drum map folder contents to that folder. 
I have done this lots of times and it's always worked for me no matter what version of windows.

yeah - alongside...

Yeah its still there.... but nothing show's up...

ok... tried something different...   I copied to drum mpa folder to drive E   and same again.

So copied drum map folder to C: and yep it appears... Why can't sonar access the drum map folder where I want to place it?

There are some folders that can't be moved. 
There was a thread about this recently which might have given a clearer explanation.

Hi

Thanks for your efforts Twaddle...


This post explains all - fixed....   I had compressed the drum map folder and its files - big NO no!
